<P>HELP Needed !!</P>
<P><BR>I installed SSHTerm and TightVNC and also IPUpdater. IPUpdater works and VNC works as well. The point now is i can't get it to work for tunneling. I confused about the setting on SSHTerm Professional. How can i use it to set up so that i could access my computer from office thro website? I use port of display number 7. How do i really set it up with SSHTerm and TightVNC ?? I already have a host at iwas2.net and i was stuck here. Please help me !</P>
<P>Thanks a lot !</P>

I'm having trouble with tightvnc under Linux.
I can access my vnc severs from all my computers BEHIND my router.
When I port forward my router to the machine running the VNC server - I =
cannot access the machine from the internet. I have a static IP address =
on the internet.
This problem does NOT occur with VNC on windows. I have no problem =
accessing my windows machines from the internet.
My firewall is set up correctly, too. I have all the appropriate ports =
defined (5800-5810 and 5900-5910).
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank You,
Bob

When i try too connect to my host using the viewer i get the failed to
connect message.
I am able to connect using a browser.
The computer i try to connect from does not have a static ip.
I have opened the ports used in my firewall and i dont have a router.
How can i use the viewer?

Hello,
I'm following the suggestion at
http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/1998-February/000114.html to get rid
of stipple patterns and speed up VNC when using twm. I've followed every
detail to the letter. To make sure, I queried the X resources with xrdb, and
also restarted twm. I get a warning message whenever I launch xterm:
Warning: Cannot convert string "solid" to type Pixmap
If I enable the scrollbar on the xterm, the slider is stippled. I assume
that this means the procedure didn't work for me. What could I be doing
wrong? I'm using solaris 8. It doesn't happen if I launch xclock,
presumably because it doesn't make use of a scrollbar.
On a possibly related note, the scrollbar for mozilla 1.2.1 is also stippled
(though it is stippled everywhere that the slider knob *isn't*, in contrast
to xterm). I'm hoping that if I solve the stippled slider for xterm, the
scrollbar for mozilla will also be fixed. If you have experienced this
(or the opposite), I'd appreciate hearing your comments on it.
Fred
P.S. I know mozilla 1.2.1 is old. My sys admin will upgrade as soon as
he has a chance.

Just in answer to my own question: How to specify a nondefault location
for the vnc classes is described right in the vncserver script. Along with
a number of customizable parameters, the path to the vnc classes is described
by the variable vncClasses. Hope this helps anyone who compiles as nonroot.
[ Though admittedly, it's kind of obvious with a bit of poking around :) ].

Subject: Re: tunnels via putty
Aldrich is correct.
So what I did:
a. Install SSH server on machine that runs VNC server or on any
server that can connect to the machine that runs VNC server
- For Linux machine, you need not to do any installation - it
is already there.
- For Windows machine, install sshwindows that can be
downloaded from http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/
b. Install PUTTY on machine that runs VNC clients
- Fill in the server machine (remote machine): name or IP, and
its SSH port - generally 22
- Go to Connection >> SSH >> Tunnels
- Fill in source port say 5950
- Fill in destination the machine that runs VNC server (this
machine should be accesible by SSH server - it can be private IP)
e.g. mydesktopmachineatmyoffice:5900
- Clik button "ADD" make sure that the radio button is on Local
- Clik "Session"
- Click "Save" to save session
c. How to connect
- Run PUTTY (load the session you just created above), if it
is your first time connected to the SSH server, it will ask you about
the certification that you have to confirm
- Fill in your username and password asked by SSH server
- After SSH connection is established, open VNC Viewer (Client)
- Fill in "localhost:50" (if the port you specify in source
port is 5950), if it is 5967, the "localhost:67"
- Make VNC Connection
Now you have VNC connection using SSH.

That's all fine and good, but I don't really have the time or ability to
recompile anything. If it involves code changes then I won't bother. I did
notice a reference to an email to this list back in 2002 where it said that
you can pass param args via the url "in the next version", but I've tried
that and it doesn't work.
So am I right in understanding that I would need to modify the code and
recompile, or is this something I can use a hex editor for?

Hello. We seem to be having a problem with disabling the local inputs
upon connection. The version of TightVNC we are using is 1.2.9. The
operating system is Windows 98 SE. Under the Show Default Settings a
check mark has been placed for "Disable local keyboard and pointer."
However when I connect to the machine in question I can still use the
local inputs. We do not have this problem on our Windows XP machines.
Any thoughts?
-JR McVicker

You can't use PuTTY to tunnel to a Windows machine unless you have some sort
of SSH server on the remote windows machine. Try using one of the
windows-to-windows tunnle apps (STunnel, I think is one?)

I am trying to use putty to tunnel a connection to a machine using

Currently reading on puttys site on tunneling.
Step 1: set the loopback address to point to the following:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3]
"AllowLoopback"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default]
"AllowLoopback"=dword:00000001
This is for both client and server.
Step 2
On the client side.
Choose a port number on your local machine where PuTTY should listen for
incoming connections.
'Local' radio button is set.
Enter the local port number into the 'Source port' box. Enter port 5900.
Press Add.
It should resemble:
L5000 xxx.xxxx.11.125:5900.
On the server side start vnc.
Am I remotely close?

Try running the application in a Window instead of full-screen (Alt-Enter
switches modes) and see if the application visible. None of the VNC programs
can "see" the old DOS full screen information, only the Windows desktop. But
I run a DOS application in a Window with VNC all the time and it works
great.
Be seeing you.

Uninstall and reinstall. We've had that problem with NT4 here and the only
solution I've found is uninstall/reinstall. That fixes it for awhile, then
you have to do it again.

Step 2
On the client side.
Choose a port number on your local machine where PuTTY should listen for
incoming connections.
'Local' radio button is set.
Enter the local port number into the 'Source port' box. Enter port 5900.
Press Add.
It should resemble:
L5000 xxx.xxxx.11.125:5900.
On the server side start vnc.
Am I remotely close?

I am using vnc server 1.2.9 running on a Windows 2000 machine and the
application I wish to access is DOS character based technology. I want =
to
access it remotely from a machine running Windows XP. The remote machin=
e
does connect and I can see the desktop, but as soon as I launch the DOS
application, I lose control of the screen. The application on the serve=
r
is in fact operating and you can see the cursor movement and the applicat=
ion
responding=85you just can=92t see it from the remote access.
I believe this is because of the combination of XP on the remote machine
trying to access a DOS application. Does anyone have any suggestions =
for
how to make this work, or am I beating my head on the wall? And don=92t=
tell
me to get a newer app.

OK, after further inspection, it seems that the service part *IS*
working, but when the remote computer is sitting at the Windows logon
screen, it acts the same way as if the workstation is locked. Unless
a user is logged in, and the workstation is NOT locked, I am unable
to connect. It asks me for the session password at the VNC
Authentication window, but when I type in the correct password (I've
tried it many, many times, so I know I must have typed it correct at
least one time), I get an error message stating that VNC
authentication failed. Any idea what would cause this?
Thanks for your help!

Sounds to me like the service is NOT installed. I'd go into start ->Programs
->TightVNC ->Administration and click on "install service" that way you
*know* it's installed. If it comes back and says the service is already
installed, go to control panel ->Services and find the VNC Server service
and set it to "automatic" and under "log on" select "system account" and
"allow interaction with desktop".

Subject: VNC Service?
Hello,
I have TightVNC installed on a PC running Windows NT 4.0 Server, and
would like to be able to install it as a service so that I can
remotely restart the computer, log off the current user and log in as
a different user, etc. I installed the service, and set it logon
using a certain account automatically. The problem that I have is
that whenever I restart the computer and have not logged in to the
Windows environment, the service is not started. What can I do to
allow this to work?
Also, I seem to have a problem in that anytime I "lock" the
workstation, the VNC server will not allow me to connect. It either
comes up with a VNC Authentication error, or starts to show the
remote computer desktop, but then closes automatically.
Any hints/suggestions?
Thanks!
Matt
